A down payment is a type of payment made in cash during the onset of the purchase of an expensive good or service. The payment typically represents only a percentage of the full purchase price; in some cases, it is not refundable if the deal falls through. In most cases, the purchaser makes financing arrangements to the cover the remaining amount owed to the seller.

Cross Price Elasticity of Demand (XED) is the responsiveness of demand for one good to the change in the price of another good. It is the ratio of the percentage change in quantity demanded of good x to the change in the price of Good Y. In business, Cross Elasticity of Demand is important because it will help determine whether or not it is a good move to increase or decrease prices or to substitute one product for another for revenue.
